Let $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ be concentric circles with radii $1$ and $2$, respectively. Four points are chosen on the circumference of $\Gamma_2$ independently and uniformly at random, and are then connected to form a convex quadrilateral. What is the probability that the perimeter of this quadrilateral intersects $\Gamma_1$? [i]Proposed by Yuan Yao.[/i]

Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers with $k<n$. Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ with real coefficients, nonzero constant term, and no repeated roots. Suppose that for any real numbers $a_0,\,a_1,\,\ldots,\,a_k$ such that the polynomial $a_kx^k+\cdots+a_1x+a_0$ divides $P(x)$, the product $a_0a_1\cdots a_k$ is zero. Prove that $P(x)$ has a nonreal root.

2018 ELMO Shortlist, 1

Let $n$ be a positive integer. There are $2018n+1$ cities in the Kingdom of Sellke Arabia. King Mark wants to build two-way roads that connect certain pairs of cities such that for each city $C$ and integer $1\le i\le 2018,$ there are exactly $n$ cities that are a distance $i$ away from $C.$ (The [i]distance[/i] between two cities is the least number of roads on any path between the two cities.) For which $n$ is it possible for Mark to achieve this? [i]Proposed by Michael Ren[/i]

Consider an $n$-by-$n$ board of unit squares for some odd positive integer $n$. We say that a collection $C$ of identical dominoes is a [i]maximal grid-aligned configuration[/i] on the board if $C$ consists of $(n^2-1)/2$ dominoes where each domino covers exactly two neighboring squares and the dominoes don't overlap: $C$ then covers all but one square on the board. We are allowed to slide (but not rotate) a domino on the board to cover the uncovered square, resulting in a new maximal grid-aligned configuration with another square uncovered. Let $k(C)$ be the number of distinct maximal grid-aligned configurations obtainable from $C$ by repeatedly sliding dominoes. Find all possible values of $k(C)$ as a function of $n$.

Let $n > 1$ be an integer. In a [i]configuration[/i] of an $n \times n$ board, each of the $n^2$ cells contains an arrow, either pointing up, down, left, or right. Given a starting configuration, Turbo the snail starts in one of the cells of the board and travels from cell to cell. In each move, Turbo moves one square unit in the direction indicated by the arrow in her cell (possibly leaving the board). After each move, the arrows in all of the cells rotate $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise. We call a cell [i]good[/i] if, starting from that cell, Turbo visits each cell of the board exactly once, without leaving the board, and returns to her initial cell at the end. Determine, in terms of $n$, the maximum number of good cells over all possible starting configurations. [i]Proposed by Melek Güngör, Turkey[/i]

Let $k$ be a circle and $l$–line that is tangent to $k$ in point $P$. On $l$ from the two sides of $P$ are chosen arbitrary points $A$ and $B$. The tangents through $A$ and $B$ to $k$, different than $l$, intersect in point $C$. Find the geometric place of points $C$, when $A$ and $B$ change in such way so that $AP.BP$ is a constant.

2022 Dutch IMO TST, 3

There are $15$ lights on the ceiling of a room, numbered from $1$ to $15$. All lights are turned off. In another room, there are $15$ switches: a switch for lights $1$ and $2$, a switch for lights $2$ and $3$, a switch for lights $3$ en $4$, etcetera, including a sqitch for lights $15$ and $1$. When the switch for such a pair of lights is turned, both of the lights change their state (from on to off, or vice versa). The switches are put in a random order and all look identical. Raymond wants to find out which switch belongs which pair of lights. From the room with the switches, he cannot see the lights. He can, however, flip a number of switches, and then go to the other room to see which lights are turned on. He can do this multiple times. What is the minimum number of visits to the other room that he has to take to determine for each switch with certainty which pair of lights it corresponds to?

Find all real $a$ such that the equation $3^{\cos (2x)+1}-(a-5)3^{\cos^2(2x)}=7$ has a real root. [hide=Remark] This was the statement given at the contest, but there was actually a typo and the intended equation was $3^{\cos (2x)+1}-(a-5)3^{\cos^2(x)}=7$, which is much easier.
